Your blood is the sea
Your skin is the shore
Now darling why would you want the tides to rise
And cover the sand
Now the shore is marked
And the water is cold
It was so beautiful
That beach
But my love
even the strongest tides return to the sea
And even the most littered beaches
Still hold beauty
All it takes is to stand and ignore what lies on the surface
And feel the warmth under the sand
And darling
When the tides return
Look at the moon
Look at the sky
And remember
The tides will slow and retreat
The sand is wet but not ruined
The sea is still alive
Not every beach is taken in the tides
Yours is beautiful
Stay and let the world see
Every grain of your being
And the beauty you hold
Now my love
The moon doesn't hold your fate
But it's up to you to see beauty in the night and the tides
Or to wait for a sun that might not shine as bright as you need
And for waters that may never settle
